Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1022730A2] A method and apparatus for control of a feed motor for an optical disk reproducing/recording device. If the center of an objective lens deviates from the optical axis beyond a predetermined level, a stepping motor 110 driven by digital pulses moves the optical pickup 2 so that the deviation decreases. Since the stepping motor 110 is precisely controllable by the drive pulses, stable tracking capability is attainable even in the case where operating environment such as temperature changes. The method in accordance with the present invention comprises the steps of detecting the distance between the center of an objective lens and an optical axis, checking whether the detected distance exceeds a prescribed range, and changing the magnitude of each drive signal by a microstep depending upon the check result and applying the drive signals to a sled motor for moving an optical pickup 2 containing the objective lens. <IMAGE>
